1. If the center of gravity of a ship in the upright position is 10 m above the center of gravity of the portion under water, the displacement being 1000 metric tons, and the ship is tipped 30° causing the center of buoyancy to shift sidewise 8 m. a) Is the moment righting or overturning and why? b) What is the value of this moment in kg·m
